Ya'll.

I recently started playing RDR2 after watching my husband play it halfway through, and I. AM. SHOOKETH with Arthur Morgan.

THEN, my dumb self decides to get on Tumblr because I have jumped clear through the rabbit hole for the fandom, and guess what? SPOILERS. My heart cannot take this travesty that has been bestowed upon this beautiful, scarred man that is Arthur Morgan.

Nope. No sir-ee Bob.

I must protect him.

I must mold a love for him that is not Mary Linton.

I must create a WHOLE NEW ENDING.

Rockstar, yo. What gives with the feels?! I even had it with GTA IV!

SO. I want y'all to get familiar with this new gal. Perhaps get a feel for her, and by all means, if there's tweaking that needs twunk, please be darlings and give me a shout in the PMs or in a review!

As of right now, this is just a biography/timeline of my character. There will be more info filling everyone in as the story progresses, and I guess I can even say that this story will be more in Arthur-centric rather than my character?

We'll see.

We'll get us a good feel with the first chapter to see how everyone feels.

For now, I give you Miss Sophia Mason's biography and timeline.

Sophia Lynn "Wildcat" Mason

32 years of age

Average height with an athletic build and a head full of wild, curly chocolate brown hair. Sophia has steel gray eyes with flecks of blue. Her skin has aged and tanned with small freckles that appear under the coaxing of the sun. Scars from years of being an outlaw lie scattered across her body—contributing to part of her low self-esteem.

Sophia Mason is a warm, laid-back member of the Van Der Linde gang. She's the exact opposite of what men would normally expect out of a woman in the late 1890s. Having been raised within the gang for so long, she's treated like one of the guys, therefore her 'peculiar' tastes and outlandish habits are easily overlooked. Her laid-back personality also has its darker side. As an outlaw, Sophia can be as cold and ruthless as they come—a proven asset to Dutch. She's a skilled hunter and fisherman, often contributing her part of the labor in camp.

Rumor has it; Sophia fought and killed a bobcat with her bare hands, hence gaining the nickname "Wildcat".

Susan absolutely detests her ways of living, probably because she could never tame Sophia down into a dress, like a proper lady.

With that being said, she is still a woman.

She faces the stereotypical 'men are above women' shtick every other day, often being called hysterical or delusional by not being married or having any children, usually being brought on by her choice of clothing, which marginally contributes to her low-esteem.

Music is her passion, often finding herself swaying to a ballad or humming to a concerto of Mozart. Animals, especially baby animals, are a weakness. She enjoys the peacefulness of her surrounding, often gazing at the sunrise or sunset until the environment recedes into the cover of night or livens up with the light of day.

Had she lived a normal life, she believed she could've been a singer or a composer.

Sophia has a fear of butterflies—often bursting out into laughing fits in place of crying.

Othello—a gray dapple Andalusian stallion that belonged to her father, Forrest Mason.

Forrest Mason—Father

Lily Mason—Mother

In 1861, Forrest Mason was a Union soldier in the Civil War.

In the wave of the civil war ending, Forrest headed south into Saint Denis in 1866, becoming a farm hand at Braithwaite Manor. He met the Braithwaite's youngest daughter, Lily, one fateful day as the two immediately fell in love. Lily, however, was destined to marry a prestigious bank owner of Saint Denis in the matter of a few months. The two of them planned to run away to elope, finalizing the plan a week before the wedding upon finding out that Lily was pregnant.

Forrest became a wanted man for kidnapping, causing the two to flee into the mountains where Lily gave birth to their daughter, Sophia, months later in 1867.

In 1876, Forrest and Lily encountered Dutch Van der Linde and Hosea Matthews, who offered them solace through joining their newly emerging gang.

In 1879, Lily died shortly after contracting pneumonia in the dead of winter. Sophia was only 12 at the time. Her father, Forrest, took Lily's death the hardest, as the gang mourned the loss of a member. Forrest began teaching Sophia the ways of the gang, much to Susan Grimshaw's chagrin. She learned how to hold a gun, throw a knife, and shoot a bow with impeccable accuracy; while learning basic survival skills like creating shelter, making a fire, hunting, and fishing.

In 1880, Sophia's first job as an outlaw was a basic stagecoach robbery, despite the protests of her friend, Arthur Morgan and gang matriarch, Susan Grimshaw.
